Precautions

On safety

• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet,

unplug the recorder and have it checked by qualified
personnel before operating it any further.

• Caution – The use of optical instruments with this

product will increase eye hazard.

On power sources

• Before operating the recorder, check that the

operating voltage of the recorder is identical with
your local power supply. The operating voltage is
indicated on the nameplate at the rear of the
recorder.

• The unit is not disconnected from the AC power

source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall
outlet, even if the unit itself has been turned off.

• If you are not going to use the recorder for a long

time, be sure to disconnect the recorder from the
wall outlet. To disconnect the AC power cord, grasp
the plug itself; never pull the cord.

• AC power cord must be changed only at the

qualified service shop.

Installation Precautions

Use of the product at a high temperature may shorten
the life of the product or cause a trouble in correct
recording or playback on a disc.
• For efficient radiation, keep a sufficient space around
the product and avoid placing anything on the top of
the product.
• Keep away from exothermic devices during
installation.

Condensation

Turning on the heating in a room when the weather is
cold may cause water droplets to form inside the CD
recorder. This is called condensation. If condensation
occurs, normal operation will be disabled and the disc
and parts may be damaged. In this case, remove the
disc and leave the CD recorder to stand with the
power supply turned ON for 1 hour, and then turn
OFF the power and ON again before using the CD
recorder normally. If normal operation is not restored
even after several hours, consult the Sony Service
Center.

On cleaning

Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft cloth
slightly moistened with mild detergent solution. Do
not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or
solvent such as alcohol or benzine.

If you have any questions or problems concerning
your recorder, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.

Disc Handling Precautions

Handling Discs

• Do not touch the signal surface (the side without

characters or printing) with your fingers and hands.

• Dust, scratches, and dirt may prevent normal play

and recording.

• If a disc is damaged or dirtied before recording,

normal recording will be disabled, so handle
recording discs with greater care than normal play-
only discs.

• You can delete tracks recorded on CD-RW discs and

reuse the discs for recording as many times as you
like, so when reusing, be sure that you can record
correctly.

• Do not affix stickers to either the signal side or the

printed side of the disc. The disc’s center of gravity
may be upset, and correct reading and writing
disabled, or the CD may become stuck in the player
and unable to be removed, causing damage.

• If writing the disc details or similar directly onto the

surface of the label side (the side with characters or
printing) of the disc, use a soft-tipped pen such as a
felt pen.

• Writing forcefully with a hard-tipped pen such as a

ball pen may cause damage to the recording surface,
disabling the use of the disc.

Storage

• Avoid places with direct sunlight, high temperature,

or high humidity, as this may cause warping or
discoloring of the disc.

• Store the disc in the proper case. Placing multiple

discs in one case may cause warping and scratching
of the discs.

Inserting Discs

• Check that the CD is firmly inserted within the tray

guides.
